We believe in one God

who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe God is the Creator of all things.

We believe in Jesus Christ,

God's only Son and Savior of the world.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

who encourages, guides, comforts, and transforms in the way of Christ.

We believe the Bible is the inspired,

written Word of God and the authoritative rule for all matters of faith and practice.

We believe that man,

created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection, opened the way for salvation.

We believe in the Biblical definition of marriage—

(Genesis 2:24) - one man married to one woman and we believe that marriage is the only legitimate and accepted sexual relationship.

We believe that salvation—

the forgiveness of sins—comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is offered to all persons who believe and profess faith in Jesus Christ.
